| Oct 28, 2019 at 1:48 | comment | added | crasic | @curiousguy they all synchronize to each other. Once there are enough producers the wave is fairly stable for normal operation and self syncs. The interesting case is how you start this thing to begin with, generally a few high power plants that synchronize the next tier and so on. I am sure there are side channel synchronization of grid scale for subsets of stations or entire grid segments. Additionally, when enough production is lost and large load fluctuations may occur (national emergency event) it can take the whole thing offline through desynchronization grid-wide | |
